As one season ends, another begins. The Denver Post's dumpling bracket is down to its final two contenders -- and they might not be dishing out the kinds of dumplings you're accustomed to. The winner, chosen by readers, will be announced next week.

Happy Opening Day for all the major league baseball fans that follow this newsletter. (Good luck to my Minnesota Twins; Rockies, you're gonna need some, too.) May the snack bar that is your team's hit and run tally stay fully stocked with popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, sour candy and POP.

Mystical Blends Cafe

Forget the corporate acai chains: Mystical Blends Cafe is putting together delicious breakfast bowls with the frozen acai berry smack dab in the middle of Colfax Avenue. The classic bowl comes with bananas, chopped strawberries, granola, honey and peanut butter drizzled over the top. A "mystical" variation adds coconut flakes and almond butter to the equation. Is it breakfast or dessert? Porque no los dos?
